8-Bit EscapeEscape Room HerndonEscape roomIRLI really loved this room. The design and story were so unique. There were a few puzzles I felt didn’t flow but overall the game flow was nice. We were led astray by our GM for 5 minutes before they realized they had given us the wrong hint for where we were in the game. That was frustrating but overall I really enjoyed how unique this room was.
Cryptid GroveEscape Room Herndon - Raven's NestEscape roomIRLI really enjoyed this room. The theme was unique and the puzzles flowed very well. Our group only needed one nudge and we were able to escape with lots of time left. I would say this room is on the easy to medium side. Throughly enjoyed it!
Witchcraft AlleyTrapped Puzzle Rooms - North LoopEscape roomIRLI really enjoyed this room. It does follow the story line of a certain boy wizard but I thought the props and puzzles were unique. The game masters were very welcoming. We did have an issue with one of the puzzles not setting but it was fine. Overall I really enjoyed this room. I would recommend 5-6 players.
ShipwreckedGnome & RavenEscape roomIRLI have done all four rooms at this location and none of them have ever disappointed. Although there are many pirate themed rooms I felt this one was better than any others I have done. The decor and immersive experience really set it above the rest. You will not be disappointed with any Ravenchase room.
Elixir IncHidden Gems Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis is the second room we have done at Hidden Gems and we very much enjoyed it. There are some different elements that I have not seen before and everything was really on theme. We did get caught up by a couple of items in the room that actually weren’t clues but overall the game flowed well. We will be back to complete the third room.
Brewery HeistGreen Light Escape Room | The Breakout RoomEscape roomIRLWe enjoyed this room. There were a lot of puzzles and locks to do at the same time. I enjoy a room that is nonlinear. I thought the room was nicely done and kept us engaged. I understand why they recommend having a minimum for four people.
Sprinkleton’s RevengeHidden Gems Escape RoomEscape roomIRLLoved this room! The theme is super cute and the decor really adds to the Christmas spirit. I thought all the clues and puzzles flowed really well! Would be great for a family with children to do together.
Sleepy HollowHidden Gems Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe really enjoyed this room. The theme is different and there were some puzzles and locks that we hadn’t experienced before. We made a few silly mistakes and got tripped up by one puzzle but I still really enjoyed the room. We will be back to try the other room.
The Wizards PubRoom Escape WilliamsburgEscape roomIRLWe enjoyed this magical room. The room is not linear and throws a lot at you at once. There are a lot of magnets used and because of this feature we used some of the wrong items in places and were able to advance the game. Harry Potter fans will enjoy the references in the game. Overall we enjoyed the room and liked the unique aspects.
ConfinementRed Door Escape Room - RichmondEscape roomIRLNot my favorite Red Door room. I am not a fan of scary stuff and that took away from my excitement for the room. There were definitely some challenging puzzles and not all were logical.
